While it may be debatable as to whether the images of the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot really reflect the Art Nouveau aesthetic beyond the card borders, there is no question as to where the "Golden" part of the title comes from. The card backgrounds and selected fine details shine with gold foil stamping, and the illustrations themselves are lovely to look at regardless of how you classify their artistic style. The illustrations lean hard into the RWS format, making the deck a good selection for easy reading (or learning to read).
